Mrs. Silver was finishing pies for the w Sunday dinner, and though she looked g a little anxiously at the letter as a pos- a] sible bringer of bad news, she said b: nothing about it at the time. ai "Haveyou read the letter, John?" h she asked, some hours later, as her ai husband was pulling off his boots pre- h paratory to golug to bed. ai ur Ko rorilioH in mirnrise. rr ucuri i uv r M "laws me. no, I forgot," and sitting pi down in his Btocking feet he drew out w the crushed envelope and put on his tl spectacles with the sheepish air of a tl man who has recently come into the possession of such things. ai His wife got ready for bed, covered h the file, bolted the doors aud win- si dows, and finally put her head on the tt f)illow while the man still sat over his i, etter, with au anxious, unhappy look a on his face. r< "Who is writing to. you, John?" n asked Mrs. Silver, when at last the let- ? ter was returned to the envelope. st "It's no matter," he answered brief- el ly. The tone was not unkind, but the ff -ifemionoiid intn a hurt hilence. and <>i TT 1 IV 1VIUJA7VV* ?<u.?w f several hot tears which would uotstay back slid down the pillow unseen by ? Mr. Silver. St They had been married fifteen years, I a and the marriage had been in most re-j |< ? spects a happy one. They were kind,! h . ' conscientious and sensible people; g they loved one another sincerely; their! n worldly a/fairs had prospered; their j sj children were promising. John Sil-Jti ver, in his undemonstrative way, wasitt a happy, contented man. and hejq thanked God in secret, with far moreje: emotion than lie ever showed in pub- ) h ?i- '? kiaaoitura which ornwned ! it JLlUy 1U1 11IC *1 tl his life. t) And the woman ? I canuot say that t> she was unhappy, but year by year the y joyous brightness of the girl John Siiver bad married grew dimmer; she i< knew her husband loved her, but her warm, affectionate nature needed the r< expression of it, as a flower will keep ei alive in cloudy weather, because the f( sun is actually in the firmament, but u cannot thrive and bloom to without ij the warm shine of its rays. ? Several days passed after the recep- u tion of the letter, marked only by a a restless inquisitiveness on John's part: jj "How'syour head, Alary?" or, "Does j| your back ache ?" or, ' When did you fi get that cough ?" tl The wife answered these unu&tial ,| queries with surprised protestation* that she was perfectly well, and wondered in secret what had come over John. And now comes her turn to receive a letter, and to keep it to herself. Mr. y Silver saw her open the letter, and quickly thrust it in her pocket much *1 as he had done himself, but it was not v until he had asked who her letter was u from that he remembered the coinci- A dence. 13 "It's no matter," she had answered sl in his own words, looking, however, strangely red and confused. But it w did not seem to matter ; at least, some- v thing from that day wrought a mar- 81 velous change in Mary Silver. Her eyes lost the look of patient sadness, a ? faint color crept back to her cheeks, 41 her very step seemed brisker, aud ev- b ery hour in the day she might be u heard singing. n John, busy, dull, unobservaut fel\, low though he was, could not miss ^ { seeing the change, and it so pleased d and gladdened him that he stirred out r *T ?i ? ut. r or nis ruts, no nucuru up ui? um buggy and took Mary out driving; fj asked her company when he went ' about the farm; and finally left Iteuben and Molly to keep the house, 1 while he took the mother on a visit of e several days to her old home. It was .l while they were enjoying this unusual !' holiday that Mr. Silver fould out about [ his wife's letter. It was from her sis- ? ter, Sue, who had married and gone to Virginia to live: "Bkab Maky I don't know as I f am doing right in sending you this letter, but here's how it came about: * I had a letter from Caroline Coles not 1 long ago, and says she: 'Your sister , Mary ain't long for this world. She's been an unfortunate woman, has Ma- F ry, and a blessed; but spite of her c comforts and earthly blessings, she looks weakly. You wouldn't know s her for the same laughing girl that used to tease John by pretending to 8 look another wav.' Well, you may be 1 sure, sister Mary, I felt uncommon l>ad about the letter, and so I sits down and writes to your John to ask about you, and this here letter is his answer. I don't know Just how I came to send it back to you ; but I'm a wife myself, and when my old man gets stirred to say something like this to me, why, ] know it does me good all over?more than a shop full of physio; so I've just made up my mind to try it on you, and if I'm doing wrong, I hope you'll l)oth forgive me, as I know you will. Your sister, ?SOE." And the letter she inclosed. It was perhaps, the longest letter John Silver < had ever written in his life, for he was j a poor hand at writing letters, as he , would have told you himself; but it flocked his wife's life with the sun- | shine for which she had been pining, i It gave zest to her work, it sweeteued her rest, brought color to her cheeks ( and light to her eyes. You'll think, may be, that Mary was a poor silly | thing to care so much for eucn a commonplace letter, but here it is : , "Dear Sister-in-Law Your let < ter has taken me all aback. The idea , that my Mary could ever get sick aud die just makes a baby of me, aud a sick baby at that. Now I come to s- think of it, she is a long 9ight whiter and thinner than she used to be, but 1 thought it wanjfcause we were both , getting older. You women has sharpkk r eyes ; Caroline Cole may he rightjay the Lord help me ! You kuow J rhat Mary is, the sweetest creature he J ver made; just having her in my j ouse has made me a happy man for t fteen years, and now if I've got to 1 use her, why, I want you to ask the t iord please to take me and the chil- I ren, too. Tell him I can't stand it, j; nd no more I cau't. Your affection- j te brother, John Silvkh." e I don't thiuk John ever began to un- | erstand what it was in this letter t aat made such a change in his wife, ot he diil make out that what she eeded to keep her bright and happy as a little old-time "loverin'," and fter this "working together" of Provlence and Sister Sue, there come a a reat change over Johu. He might be ^ svkward and olumsy, his grammar a light be at fault; but, in one form or P riotlier, he always managed to give ? lary her share of daily suushine. ' J1 A Lore Storj. e This story whs originally told by 0 purgeou: A young clergyman and his bride . ere jnvited guests at a large party iven by a wealthy parishioner. In . 11 the freshness and elegance of the ridal wardrobe, the young wife shone ruong the throng, distinguished by er comeliness and vivacity and ricn Ltire ; and when, during the evening, er young husband drew her aside nd whispered to her that she wa9 the tost beautiful woman in all the com- ^ any, and that his heart was miming ith pride and love for her, she lought herself the happiest wife in i le world. Ten years later the same husband . ud wife were guests at the same b ouse, where there was gathered a .( milar gay company. The wife of >n years ago wore the same dress she ad worn on the previous occasion, rid, of course, it had been altered and Mnade, and was old-fashioned and allost shabby. Toil and care and lotherhood, and pinched circumances, had taken the roses out of her <, lieeke and the little spring out of her u >rm. She sat apart from the crowd, ^ ireworn and pre-occupied. Her . nail hands, roughened with coarse ^ >il, were ungloved, for the minister's ilary was painfully small. A little {: uart the ten-vear husband stood and >oked at his wife, and as he observed er faded dreps and weary attitude, a reat sense of all her loving faithful- v e.-s came over his heart. Looking up le caught his earnest gaze, and noted that his eyes were filled with :ars. She rose and went to hiin ; her uestioning eyes mutely asked for an xplauation of his emotion ; and when e tenderly took her hand, and, placlg it on his arm, fed her away from v ae crowd, and told her how ho had een thinking of her as she looked ten , ears before, when she was a bfide, nd bow much more precious she was > him now, and how much more ^ eautiful, for all her shabby dress and jughened hands, and how he appreiated all her sacrifice and patient toil >r him and their children, a great -ave of happiness filled her heart, and fl ght shone in her face so that it gave l lore than youthful beauty, and in all j lie com Dan v there was not so haDDV couple as this husband and wife, "the . earts and faces aglow from the flam- _ jg up of pure sentiment that trans- = gured and ennobled, and glorified all t lie toils and privations they have enured.?Christian Repository. Over-Neighborly. ^ Mother has often told me of a funny P ime she had when she was quite a oung housekeeper, ulflicted with a v orrowing neighbor. This lady sel- b om had anything of her own at hand a rhen it was wanted, so she depended ? pon the obliging disposition of her iends. One day my mother put on er laige house-keeping apron, and 11 LeoDed across the vard to her out-door b itcben. The kitchens in Kentucky , rere never a part of the house, but al- e rays at a little distance from it, in a e eparate building. "Aunt Phyllis," said mother to the c ook, who was brownlug coffee grains a a skillet over the fire, "I thought I g jld you that I was coming here to aake pouml cake and crcam pie9 tliis lorning. Why is nothing ready?" "La, me, MUs Emmeline !" replied ^unt Phyllis, "Miss 'Tilda Jenkins a one carried off every pie pan and ooling-niu and pastry-board, aud bor- p owed all de eggs and cream fo' berelf. Her bakin isn't mo'n begun." 'his was a high-banded proceeding, s >ut nothing could be done in the case, e t was Mrs. Jenkins' habit, and moth- o r had always been so aruiable about it a hat the servants, who were easy-go g, never troubled themselves to ask t he mistresB, but lent the inconven- f ent borrower whatever she desired. ' Sometimes, just as we were going to hurch, I was too little at the time to a emember, mother said that a small t (lack boy with very white teeth aud a \ rery woolly head, would pop up at ?er chamber door exclaiming : r "Howdy, MisB Emmeline. Miss c Tilda done sent nie to borrow yo' I >rayer-book. Shegoin' to church tolay herself." "Or, of a summer evening, her maid vould appear with a modest request or MissEnielins's lace shawl and red iatin fan; Miss 'Tilda wanted to nake a call, and had nothing to wear. Ml this, I think, made mother perectly set agaiust our ever borrowing 10 much as a slate penoil or a pin. We were always to use our own things >r go without. I never had a sister, nit cousins otten spent months at the aouse, and were in and out of room in ;he freest way, forever bringing me heir gloves to mend or their ties to clean, as cousins will.

A Goon Anecdote.?Dr. Parr (the celebrated scholar) was once preaching a the country parish of another clergyman, and, as was his habit, used 1 krery learned language. The* rector afterward said to him, "They could not ' understand you." "Nonsense," said Dr. Parr ; "I am ' jure there was nothing in my sermou which they could not compre- 1 hend." ' "Weil," said the rector, "I will callj^ Dne of them in, and see if he under-1 stands the meaning of the word 'felic-l' j< So he called in one of the laboriug, men and said,? j < "John, can you tell nie what is the ' Meaning of 'felicity ?'

The child obeyed, nd presently returned saying : "Pa>a has just coine around the corner ; I m going to meet him." And away ie ran, while Mrs. Graves went to put he oysters to stew.

"Human beings, to be sure," anwered the dog. "Why?'' said the cat. She was in , very laconic mood just then. "Why, indeed!" echoed the dog; easou enough to be sure. Just think iow terrible it is to depend upon your yes almost entirely for every thing ou know. Fully a minute (or at least fty-tive seconds) before our mistress sked about our master. I had scented is approach. I knew he was nearinjj ionic. Yet she and our little playfel jw, Willie, were oDiigeu to see mm n the street before they knew he was oming. I don't believe they have ny sense of smell at all." "I am sure they have big enough oses," said the eat, rubbing her paw ver her little pink pug. "Then, too," continued the dog, even when [ have a bad cold and my een scent is impaired, I can always ea? his approach long before she does. Vhy, the house would have been robed the other night if I had been a oor human being instead of a fortuate brute." "And how was that?" asked the cat. "O it was the time master was exected home on the midnight train. was lying at the foot of the bed ?'hen I heard a sound below. I barkd. 'Keep quiet! It is only your aaster.' said mv mistress quite sharp y ; but I barked again, unci ran out uto the hall. I knew very well it /as not my master below; my ear nd my nose both told me a stranger ?as in the house. Aud sure enough s I went down stairs a man ran out of he front door, which had been opener by removing the lock. Why, if I /ere a human being I should never are sleep a wink ! They are the no?t defenseless creatures in the rorld. I pity them." Later in the evening a friend dropfed iu to call upon Mr. Graves. 'What intelligent eyes lhat animal ias!" the gentleman remurked as the og sat looking in his lace. "Yes ; he seems almost human someimes," Mr. Graves replied. "It is a reat misfortune such animals are delied the privilege of speech. I pity hem often." "Humph !" said the dog as he walkd away in disgust to where the cat kas sitting. "Almost human, ineed ! I wonder who needs the most ity ?" "It all depends on the poiut of iew," said the cat.

It was her tiusband. Hearing his voice she hid ber face in her hands and said hastily : "You must not pay it." "But we want you at home," replied the nian, smiling at her pleasantly. "No, you must not pay it," insisted bis wife. "Don't waste the money on me. Buy a new pair of shoes for baby with it." "Please come home, mamma," said the little girl; and the father silently drew money from his pocket and banded it to the olerk of the court. But the woman stiii protested, declaring that she would not go home, and she would go to prison; and it was not until the little girl began to cry and the judge begged her to think of her children, that sue consented to return. Her husband at length took her by one hand, the child by the oilier, and between them she was led ilowly from the court. H. D. Reese, WATCH REPAIRER, , Abbeville, S.
